SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Sacramento County Regional Parks is proud to announce the opening of its first community garden at Gibson Ranch Regional Park, now open for plot reservations. This new community space invites residents of all gardening experience levels to grow fresh produce, share knowledge and build connections in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Located within the scenic 355-acre Gibson Ranch Regional Park, 8556 Gibson Ranch Park Road, the garden includes 48 20' x 20’ plots, with designated space for 12 raised accessible beds that will be built as plots are reserved. All gardening is organic, with water access and community areas designed to support year-round stewardship and sustainable practices.

“Community gardens connect people to the land, to healthy food and to each other,” said Liz Bellas, director of Sacramento County Regional Parks. “We’re excited to welcome residents to this beautiful new space where neighbors can learn, grow and cultivate not just plants, but community.”

Plot registration opened Dec. 1, and Sacramento County residents receive priority. Remaining plots may be offered to non-residents if space allows.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or trying it for the first time, the Gibson Ranch Community Garden offers a unique way to spend time outdoors, grow your own food and help nurture a shared resource that benefits the entire community.
